Planned Giving:

(Each planned gift is unique and requires special attention. The Foundation staff will attempt to answer any questions you may have. As with any planned giving, a professional personal Financial Advisor should be contacted.)

Gifts that do not impact Cash Flow, Lifestyle, or Family Security:

a. Gifts from your Will or Trust (also known as Bequests): Please be aware a Codicil (an amendment to your existing will) is an easy way to update your will.

Note: St. Andrews Place, Inc. was founded thanks to a bequest in the will of Stephen French McCready. It reads:

“To First Presbyterian Church at Richmond, Kentucky, in memory of my beloved wife, Isabel Bennett McCready, to be used to found or enlarge or endow a nursing and retirement home.”

We know first-hand, the importance of bequests. They are an easy way to give simply by adding a codicil (an amendment) to your will.
